Green and Gold.—This new variety, which made its appearance but a few years ago, stepped into popular favor at once. The melons are of good size, ranging from 20 to 45 pounds in weight. The largest early variety in cultivation, and in productiveness unequaled, yielding from 5 to 8 large melons to the vine. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; Jib., 25c; lb., 75c. Phinney's Early.—This is nearly as early as the Vick's, and has the advantage of larger size and better shape for market purposes. The outer skin is beautifully mottled a dark green, thin rind, sweet and delicious, very productive. By mail, postpaid, pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; Jib., 20c; lb., 60 cents. Stoke's Extra Early.—This new variety is undoubtedly the earliest of all, shape nearly round, green skin slightly mottled. Flesh deep scarlet, remarkably solid, and in delicious sugary flavor is unsurpassed by any other melon. Average- weight about 15 pounds. Seed very small, about half the size of ordinary melon seed. More productive than the larger- varieties, and for family purposes is quite unequaled. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; Jib., 25c; lb., 60 cents. Jumbo Water Melon.—The shape is round, color green, with faint light stripes. Deep red meat, surpassing all other varieties as much in flavor as in size, and as a market melon sells more rapidly and for higher prices. They jrrow to weigh eighty pounds. From forty to sixty pounds is common. Wagon loads have averaged fifty-five pounds each. It matures six to eight days later than ordinary kinds and we do not consider it so desirable as other earlier sorts to plant north of the latitude of Chicago. Pkt., 5c; oz., 10c; Jib., 25c; lb., 80 cen
